I want a keyboard, so will be very interested in the Desire Z versus the Nokia E7 over the next few months

...and will retail for just under £500. They obviously really do believe it's an iPhone slayer at that price.

Out in 3 weeks

Is really worth upgrading my HD2 for, pretty much the same specs apart from the internal storage ?

Not sure, but WELL WORTH upgrading my Touch

I have the HTC Desire and it's a very good phone. Never had an iphone so I can't compare the two.

My Desire has just installed the Android 2.2 system update and it seems even faster than it was.

Top, top phone.

I think HTC Desire it is. I may try getting them to lower the price for buying the phone (£80) with this new one coming out today

I have an HTC Desire and it's bloody AMAZING. Does everything I need it to. Never had or used an iPhone though so I can't compare the two.

HTC's look way COOLER than iPhones as well. Brushed metal finish...mmmmm.

I for one think our prolific mediaWHORE has made the right choice.

Ive got HTC legend... solid piece of aluminium. A joy to my mince pies.

Wildfire

Stupid bint in "Phones4U" tried to palm me off with a WHITE Wildfire. I said I'm definitely getting a Wildfire, but I don't want a white one. She made a call and came out with some SHITE about "HTC have only supplied London and the South East with white Wildfires, but I can order you the two-tone black/bronze one for Tuesday...". Errr, no thanks love, I'll go next door to Carphone Warehouse, I can walk out with one from there. Which I promptly did.

Lying slut.

All different tastes isnt there... in my team of 6 at work we have

1 IPhone (Ukrainian)
1 HTC legend (Me, English!)
1 Blackberry Curve (Pakistani)
1 Samsung Galaxy (Iranian)
1 Ericsson Experia (Polish)
1 Brick (Czech)

All claim to have the best phones, apart from the Czech bloke who we point and laugh at (although he kills us with battery life!)

Yep the new one is very nice

One thing I am gutted about changing my current iPhone is that on ANGRY BIRDS I have 494 of the 495 stars you can get. Weeks of hard work, wasted
